From the tree-covered mountainsides that form the Hurdal valley in Norway, a young man immigrates to the flat, hot Dakota prairies in the late 1880's. This historical novel, based on fact, shows the life of a newcomer who makes good, but who can't be loosened from the bonds that tie him to his Fatherland, and to his mother and childhood home. It is set in the time period of the turn of the century and depicts a life very interesting, but very different from today. It is a sequel to Haul the Water, Haul the Wood and follows the lives of the next generation.
